Framed

Bernard knew his brother could not have done it. Max was too much of an idealist to have dealt in drugs. Yet he was arrested as a suspect. Bernard knew something was foul. Their whole family was breaking up. Their mother had fallen ill and their father was wandering about like a madman. Only Bernard stood firm. He was sure of the justice system. His brother would be released.

His brother had been working as an immigration officer. In fact, he was due for promotion. Bernard knew that a lot of his brother’s colleagues were jealous of him. One of them had probably hidden the drugs in his locker. But he had the only one key, so it looked as if no one else would have done it. Bernard was worried. The trial dragged on for weeks. The number of witnesses for the prosecution was many. Someone was out to get his brother. He decided to do something.

He managed to speak to his brother and gathered from him who he suspected of having framed him. He mentioned a name: Clive. He had been by passed many times for promotion because he was lazy. He hated Max.After that he went to the immigration checkpoint and spoke to the cleaner. He spent half a day talking to the elderly lady, trying to get her help. She was sympathetic and wanted to help in any way possible but was afraid. Bernard reassured her and finaily managed to get her to give him a few items he asked for. Then Bernard went to see Max’s lawyer.

At the trial the next day, the lawyer put the department head on the stand and made him commit himself that there was no way anyone except the owner could get the keys to a locker. After that, the lawyer produced a set of keys and said that the keys were to all the lockers at the station. The lawyer persuaded the court to try the locks and the following day, the court did. All the keys fitted the locks: including the key to the department head’s locker. The lawyer exposed the fact that the control over the keys was lax. This raised sufficient doubt and the court decided to release Max. Max ran out and hugged his younger brother.

Bernard himself reserved his happiness for later.He brought his brother to the hospital to see their mother.Incidentally, their father was there too. Everyone was so happy that they broke down and cried.

Soon after, Max left his job. He did not want to work with such vicious people. Their father started a family business, and import/export company, and both brothers decided to work for the company.
